Book Reviews of Stillness Speaks
Book Review: Good copy
Summary: 1 Stars
Tolle has managed to pull together the thoughts of the writers of present living and non duality and made the subject into his own. A good book for the beginner in this field. Anyone who has read widely will see it as just another self help book of which there are millions on the market. How do i know this book is useless. It made no difference to me. I have read this stuff years ago in a beginners guide to relaxation. As I say however it is a good start for beginners.Book Review: How wonderful to be able to give 5 stars without reservation!
Summary: 5 Stars
To say that this author has changed my life is such an understatement. This is the first time that a wisdom has touched me so profoundly that a year after picking up "The Power of Now" I am still reaping the rewards of that book, of "A New Earth" and now, "Stillness Speaks." Who could imagine that Mr. Tolle's books could possibly get better and better? I'm not sure that they do. I think it's only that each one is so profound that you find yourself believing each is better than the last one you read because you learn so much from each. Today I re-read the sutra about "the dance of form." It literally opened up a whole new way of looking at life for me. It lifted me out of a despondent state and made me so excited about life again - in seconds. How to express my gratitude for such a gift? Simply, I suppose, to recommend this great writer and thinker and his books to others, and to practice being in the NOW as much as I possibly can. I truly believe it is the path to peace, love and understanding in this troubled world.Book Review: the spoken word
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with other reviewers that this book is even better than Power of Now, a book which definitely had an impact on my life view. The ideas here are presented more compactly and seem to go to a deeper level. For instance, there was a lot about the pain body in PON which didn't always sink in for me but here it is presented more in the context of "you are not your thoughts," which seems more the essential truth rather than someone's conceptualization. Mr. Tolle's ideas are very consistent with the Buddha's teachings but somehow more easily graspable. I highly recommend the audio version of this book. Listening while I'm driving has served as a daily reminder not to get lost in the trance of thought, a habit that takes some effort to overcome. Book Review: Simplicity, Stillness and Answers
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the simplicity of this book. There's a lot that gives insight into what inner stillness is, so that ego can take a back seat, and inner calm even amid external chaos can take the place of the chattering mind that usually sends us into inner chaos.
The wisdom of Tolle is rare, and this is one of the few books that I've read that reached me in a manner that made a difference. I also suggest this book with Tolle's "Practicing the Poewer of Now" they make a great pair!
Book Review: Stillness Speaks
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading this book, I have become a lot more aware of how much power we all have. I am certain that, together, we can change the direction our planet is headed. No complicated formula is needed. I've learned to simply make a conscious effort at being the best person I can be, right "NOW" (wherever,whatever,or whomever I may be involved with)is enough. I finally understand what "Judgement" and "Surrender" mean! Like most people, I always thought I would have to enter some austere practice, in order to consciously honor such terms in my everyday life. Also, it felt so good to hear Mr. Tolle affirm that everything, from rocks to rocking chairs are ALIVE and connected. This reading has put me more deeply in touch with the "Universal Love" frequency. The stillness I find in my daily life, has become a thing to cherish, rather than fear. I recommend "STILLNESS SPEAKS" to all who want to understand and gracefully navigate their way into the new paradigm.
